Somewhere I said I hope they dont go to Lezcano or Kent. I think Gomez is perfect.

I guess it really doesn't matter. I have no clue what to expect from him in the Florida Derby based on his FOY, which was pretty awful. I'll be happy with a good performance at this point.

I dont think his Fl Derby was awful. I think he will be fine. Dont worry yet.

You mean FOY? I'm sorry to say I thought it was, but I'm not worried because what's going to be is going to be. I was stunned after the race and to some extent I still am. He's kind of been an afterthought to me recently given that I was really happy with Stay Thirsty's return. We'll see........I'm kind of torn. On one hand, I don't want to give up on a horse I thought had huge potential after just one start. On the other, I have serious doubts about this colt's ability to rate.....among other things.
